Sweet and Spicy Beer Steamed Rock Crab Recipe

Here's a delicious way to add extra flavor to your crabs, crab legs, or crab claws whether they're already cooked or raw—steam them with spiced beer!

An amber or 'red' beer is best for this recipe; it gives a depth of flavor without being too assertive.

Rock crab claws are becoming more available in markets. Similar to blue crabs, US-produced rock crabs are sustainably harvested and have a nice sweet crab flavor. You can use this recipe for any type of crab, though.

If they aren't already, make sure to lightly crack each leg or claw before steaming so the flavor can get inside.
